Tried searching the forum - no luck - everyone else seems to have got it sorted through patience and cleaning the disc.

Thanks npinks - hoped it may just be taking its time. I'm prone to impatience but think there must be something preventing it from completing. Going for the world record in time taken to update the maps - been sitting on the drive for 5 hours - had to plug the charger/conditioner in to stop the battery going flat- still no sign of it completing its update.

Upgraded from 2007 to 2011/2012 in my '07 FL2 HSE using genuine disc, process took about 15 mins. When I put the disc in it said there was upgraded firmware and to press continue. In no time at all, including several automatic sat nav restarts the job was done. Have no idea why some folk are saying it takes hours, maybe the lens on the dvd drive needs a clean? |

Most users seem to have no problem - occasionally real problems. I seem to have the record - still updating over a week now. I have left it on the driveway with satnav on for 4 or 5 hours at a time on several occasions and been on several long journeys - still cycling through the blank screen, restart and greyed out nav button routine. Disc been out and cleaned 3 times now.

Mine did this once, put the old disc back in, the screen went blank, thought that's it, left it overnight, went out in the morning, normal screen, put the update disc in, forty minutes later all done, worth a go |

Thanks for that - trying it right now - will let it run for a few hours with ignition on - then leave it alone, everything off overnight (too risky to leave key in) and see what happens. Mine: Freelander 2 HSE, 08. Santorini Black/Alpaca Leather, privacy glass, side steps. |

I agree. The system is pretty similar to the one in my previous car -Jaguar XJ - 07 model which updated straightaway in around 20 mins. I think the DVD based system is at the end of its useful life anyway and hopefully internet enabled or at least usb capable systems with hard drives will bring an end to this expensive and almost laughable process in what are pretty high spec luxurious cars in most other respects.

Finally got my sat nav working. Took it to my very helpful and friendly dealer - Harwoods of Hove who ran some diagnostics - found the sat nav box under the drivers seat was faulty - not repairable and this morning fitted a nice new one. New disc loaded straight away, all working fine.

I had this problem today trying to upgrade 2007 to 2012. It kept resetting and not completing for over an hour. In the end I got fed up and shut the car off and tried again an hour later without taking the disc out. The satnav stayed on this time with the navigation button stuck in on the screen, the screensaver etc was still working. About 20mins into the drive it reset once and when it came back on it worked.

At £2000 for a new drive, I think I would remove the one from under the seat and try cleaning the lens on the drive. Surly these must be standard DVD drives? Glad you had it sorted under warranty. |
